"Soon to have an article in Rap Pages" (c) Raekwon

This is one of my favorite photographs. Obvious bite of the infamous Janet Rolling Stone cover, but it captured Dirty perfectly.

B+, Rap Pages - 1995

I miss Rap Pages... mostly because they had great photo layouts. They really started to develop a great magazine close to the end. Can't knock Larry Flynt for trying to get some rap music money.

I also miss Ego Trip, Stress, and On The Go... oh well.

For real, drugs have often played a huge role in creating dope music (just look at the '60s and '70s), but I think Ms. Winehouse is going a little too far with the "cocktail of heroin, ecstasy, cocaine, the horse tranquillizer ketamine and liquor." i mean... daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!
